Lightly hazy gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is light, fairly dry and is minerally crisp. Light smooth malts, mild to medium sweet. Hops bring fresh grapefruit, cooling pine and mild floral sweetness. Orange peel bitterness. Light pith and a whisper of Mosaic blueberry. Semi dry finish. Nice.

Cask-conditioned at the Hillgrove Bristol 1/12/2016. Bright amber in colour with a slight, white, head. Aroma of orange fruits, with a touch of floral hop. Flavour had a hint more tangerine and sweetish malts, before a dryish finish. Enjoyable.

Cask at the Alehouse, Reading. An amber pour with a ring of cream head; cereal grain aroma with some orange juice; sharp zesty orange taste with a biscuity body; and a lingering orange finish. A good use of Mandarina Bavaria hops.

Cask at the Alehouse, Reading. A golden amber pour with no head; fruity grain aroma; sour grain taste with some medicinal herbs to finish. A strange brew.

Tap at Castle Tap, Reading. Vague citrus aroma. Hazy dark amber. No head. Tart. The lemon comes through but also had a vinegar element. Light bodied. Long finish. For me just not balanced.

Cask @ The Salopian Bar, Shrewsbury. Pours clear golden amber, thin white head. Aroma is light fruits, malts. Taste brings forth cereal malts, bitter apricot, exotic leanings.. a likeable fuzzy fruited pale.

Pours a murky amber color, topped with a medium small off-white head, but nicely lasting. A hint of fruit in the aroma with some easily noticeable nutmeg presence that gives a bit of that familiar wintery vibe. Medium bitterness in the taste finishing with that bitter nutty flavour that sticks with you for some time. Dry finish. Nicely drinkable, though it may come too strong if you donβt like the nuttiness.
